Buffalo Bill Shows to 15,000 People.

Buffalo Bill and his rough riders entertained
an audience of 15,000 persons at
their performance yesterday afternoon.
Owing to Col. Cody's energy the Illinois
Central ran its world's fair express trains
during the afternoon and evening for the
benefit of the Wild West's patrons. The
trains helped swell the audiences on the Midway
quite as much as they did at the Wild
West show, which made Supt. Tucker of the
department of admissions very grateful to
Col. Cody. The Wild West people were
obliged to guarantee the Illinois Central the
expense of running trains before they could
obtain the service, but so heavy was the
traffic that the road will probably resume its
regular Sunday express service to Jackson
park.
